REMOTE SENSOR

This product is shipped with the RTGR328N Thermo / Hygro Sensor. The main unit can collect data from up to 6 sensors (5 Thermo / Hygro Sensors and 1 UV Sensor).

The main unit is compatible with the following sensors: THGR228N, THGR328N, THR228N, THR328N and THWR288. (Additional sensors are sold separately. Contact your local retailer for more information.)

The RTGR328N Sensor collects temperature and humidity readings, and signals from official time-keeping organizations for the radio-controlled clock.

SET UP THERMO / HYGRO SENSOR (RTGR328N)

1. Open the battery compartment with a small Phillips screwdriver.
2. Insert the batteries.
3. Set the channel and radio signal format. The switches are located in the battery compartment.

For best results:

• Insert the batteries and select the unit, channel, and radio signal format before you mount the sensor.
• Place the sensor out of direct sunlight and moisture.
• Do not place the sensor more than 70 metres (230 feet) from the main (indoor) unit.
• Position the sensor so that it faces the main (indoor) unit, minimizing obstructions such as doors, walls, and furniture.
• Place the sensor in a location with a clear view to the sky, away from metallic or electronic objects.
• Position the sensor close to the main unit during cold winter months as below-freezing temperatures may affect battery performance and signal transmission.

NOTE The transmission range may vary and is subject to the receiving range of the main unit.

You may need to experiment with various locations to get the best results.

SENSOR DATA TRANSMISSION

Data is sent from the sensor(s) every 60 seconds. The reception icon shown in the Temperature / Humidity Area indicates the status.

ICON DESCRIPTION

1. RF Clock time
2. World Time city
3. World Time clock

RADIO-CONTROLLED CLOCK

The time and date are automatically updated by radio-controlled clock signals from official time-keeping organizations in Frankfurt (Germany) and Rugby (England) unless you disable this feature. The signals are collected by the remote sensor (RTGR328N) whenever it is within 1500 km (932 miles) of a signal. Initial reception takes 2-10 minutes, and is initiated when

you first set up the unit, and whenever you press RESET. Once complete, the reception icon will stop blinking.

In addition to the local time and calendar display, you can also select to display the corresponding time of 130 major world cities.

The icon shown in the Clock Area indicates 2 factors:

• Connection between the main unit and the sensor that collects RF signals ( III )
  • RF signal reception (○)

How these signals work together:

ICON	MEANING
	The unit has contact with the sensor and has synchronized the time.
	The unit has contact with the sensor but the time has not been synchronized.
	The unit has lost contact with the remote sensor but the time is synchronized.
	The unit has lost contact with the remote sensor and the time is not synchronized.

The unit cannot reach the remote sensor.

NOTE To force a manual search for RF clock reception, press and hold SEARCH on the sensor (RTGR328N) for 2 seconds.

TURN RADIO-CONTROLLED CLOCK ON / OF

If you wish to manually set the clock, you must first disable the radio-controlled feature. To do this, navigate to the Clock / Alarm Area. Then, press and hold on the main unit for 2 seconds. To enable it, navigate to the Clock / Alarm Area, then press and hold 2 seconds.

The weather station can display the following information from any of the 5 remote sensors:

• Current, minimum, and maximum temperatures and relative humidity percentages.
• Comfort level indicator and trend line (rising, falling, or steady).

Data is collected and displayed approximately every 60 seconds.

VIEW TEMPERATURE AND HUMIDITY AREA

Press SEL to navigate to the Temperature and Humidity Areas.

Temperature data is given at the top; Humidity is below.

CHANNEL TEMP 29.6°C MAX MIN WET COM DRY 78%

SELECT MEASUREMENT UNIT

Slide the °C / °F switch (inside the clock battery compartment), to the setting you want.

SELECT SENSOR CHANNEL

Press CH to switch between sensors 1-5.

The house icon shows the selected remote sensor.

• To auto-scan between sensors, press and hold CH for 2 seconds. Each sensor's data will be displayed for 3 seconds.
• To end auto-scan, press CH or MEM with the Temperature / Humidity Area selected.

NOTE If you select a sensor that collects only temperature data, the humidity will not be shown.

• Press MEM repeatedly to view current, maximum and minimum records for the selected sensor.
  • To clear the records, press and hold MEM for 2 seconds. A beep will sound to confirm that the memory has been cleared.

TEMPERATURE AND HUMIDITY TREND

The trend lines are shown next to the temperature and humidity readings.

The Comfort Zone indicates how comfortable the climate is, based on current temperature and humidity measurements.

ZONE TEMPERATURE HUMIDITY
WET	Any >70%
COM	20-25°C(68-77°F)	40-70%
DRY	Any	<40%

NOTE This information is shown in the Humidity Area when the current measurement is displayed.

HEAT INDEX

The Heat Index advises 4 levels of warning if the temperature is high.

DANGER CATEGORY	TEMPERATURE
	°C °F
Extreme Danger	>54.5	>130
Danger 40.5-54.4		105-130
